ANTERSELVA (ITALPRESS) – Tommaso Giacomel is ninth in pursuit of 12.5 km of Anterselva at the Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina 2026. The 25-year-old of Vipiteno, taken 22nd to 1’40” after the bad test in the sprint, cuts the finish line with a delay of 1’15′′2 from the gold medal of the Swedish Martin Ponsiluoma. Silver to the Norwegian Sturla Holm Laegreid, 20′′6, and bronze to the French Emilien Jacquelin (+29′7). At the foot of the podium the leader of the general classification Eric Perrot (+39′5). Further back the other blues with Lukas Hofer 13th to 2’27′′′9 and Nicola Romanin 28th to 3’17′′6.
“I’m always leaving something on the ground, but today it went much better. It is my best race on four polygons for a while now, which is not a positive thing for an athlete of my level. I am happy with how I felt physically, the speed was there.” These are the words, in the mixed area, by Tommaso Giacomel. “The mass start is the race where I won more and I think it’s the format I like most even if I don’t think it’s the most suitable for me”, concludes the blue, which will be engaged Tuesday in relay and Friday in the mass start.
At 14.45 he will touch the female pursuit with Lisa Vittozzi fighting for medals.
